facts

According to the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA], Paul Revere founded the first patriot intelligence network on record, a Boston-based group known as the “mechanics.” Prior to the American Revolution he had been a member of the Sons of Liberty, a political organization that opposed incendiary tax legislation such as the Stamp Act of 1765 and organized demonstrations against the British. Beginning in 1774, the mechanics, also referred to as the Liberty Boys, spied on British soldiers and met regularly (in the legendary Green Dragon Tavern) to share information.

that is interesting news

Paul Revere never shouted the legendary phrase later attributed to him (“The British are coming!”) as he passed from town to town. The operation was meant to be conducted as discreetly as possible since scores of British troops were hiding out in the Massachusetts countryside. Furthermore, colonial Americans at that time still considered themselves British; if anything, Revere may have told other rebels that the “Regulars”—a term used to designate British soldiers—were on the move.

IF PAUL REVERE DID HIS MINIGHT RIDE IN THE FUTURE THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE

facts

Revere became a trusted messenger for the Massachusetts Committee of Safety, an organization set up to resist the British. He foresaw an attack by the British troops against the location of military supplies in Concord, Massachusetts, and arranged a signal to warn the patriots in Charlestown, Massachusetts. During the late evening of April 18, 1775, the chairman of the Committee of Safety told him that the British were going to march to Concord. Revere signaled by anging two lanterns in the tower of Boston's North Church. This showed that the British were approaching "by sea," thhat is, by way of the Charles River. He crossed the river, borrowed a horse in Charlestown, and started for Concord. Arriving in Lexington, Massachusetts, at midnight, he awakened American rebels John Hancock(1737–1793) and Samuel Adams (1722–1803), allowing the two men to flee to safety.

Odd fact

Paul Revere once made a collar for someone's pet squirrel.

ANOTHER ODD FACT

Paul Revere was related by marriage to Abraham Lincoln, whose father was a cousin of two of Revere’s sons-in-law. (Another notable relative of the nation’s 16th president is the actor Tom Hanks, a direct descendant of Lincoln’s mother Nancy Hanks.)

AND ANOTHER ODD FACT

When the Boston Beer Company introduced a new brand of lager to the American market in 1985, they chose a name that honored Samuel Adams, the Boston patriot whose family produced brewer’s malt for generations. It is rumored that the portrait of a colonial-era drinker featured on most bottles is actually Paul Revere, allegedly because the beer’s namesake was deemed too unattractive.
